Mary & all I had a similar experience at my place about a week ago. Resident Cooper's stopped for a rest on my backyard fence. The neighborhood squirrels were eating and playing close-by. One squirrel in particular kept edging closer to the Cooper's Hawk till finally the big guy opened his wings as if to show size superiority. He then flew off. I guess he wasn't very hungry just then!
